3 error in row is not really that common, were they all from the same batch?I've had four Libre 2 Plus sensors. The first one was OK and I've had the other three all given an error today. Unsurprisingly I've got none left now. Dreadful things it seems.
Looking at options.
I know, I've never had more than one before. First and third (which is still on as I'm hoping it'll kick in!) says 'sensor error' and that glucose readings are paused. I have had this before twice (out of 23 in total) with a Libre 2 and it never did start working again. The middle one just gave a not working error. They were in batches of two via the chemist just like all my other ones have been.3 error in row is not really that common, were they all from the same batch?
which error messages did u receive?
i've found with the glucose readings paused is usually proceeded by a rapid quick change of readings. have had before 3-4 hours before was ok. can also apaprently get if dehydrated advice abbotts gave before was to ensure drank at least 8 cups of water through the day. take it 'sensor error' had something with replace afterwards. should be able to get the sensors replaced. would be handier imo if pharmacy's were able to replcae rather than wait indoors for replacements for shipping which your not notified of day never mind a rough time. abbots usually are fairly decent at replacing faulty sensors.I know, I've never had more than one before.

I have been using libre 2+ for nearly a year. I don’t think I have had any that don’t last the full 15 days. I am now on Omnipod 5 closed loop and the only issue I have is having to wear the sensor on my arm which means for connectivity I have to wear the pod there too. For that reason I am going to ask to change to Dexcom.So I have been using Libre 2 for a while now and haven't had 1 sensor last 15 days. They have lasted between 8 hours and 11 days at best. I have found them very unreliable. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know why these sensors are so unreliable?
I have never had any issues at all, they last the full 15 days, so not sure why yours are not doing so! Contact Abbot and see if they can help! Hopefully the can resolve your issue.So I have been using Libre 2 for a while now and haven't had 1 sensor last 15 days. They have lasted between 8 hours and 11 days at best.

last 2 sensors been fairly difficult to get off here. perhaps they've changed it a little.In the couple of weeks I have had to replace two more Sensors through Abbots. They both last about 5 or 6 days and fell out. Since being on the libre 2 plus I have had far more drop out or simply stop working the I did on theprevious sensor.
Good that more people have found this thread on diabetes.co.uk and we are starting to see the extent and size of the issue. Will Abbotts improve their glue ?
I hope you sent these failed back to Abbotts - Even though they say they have tested. I have found the production quality varies greatly, One of the most common issues being they just fall off the arm as the glue mix was poor.I had two fail last night. One the needle fell out on attaching to my arm, the other stuck to my arm but simply wouldn't connect to my phone. I rebooted my phone several times but no joy.
I've requested replacements, and have contacted Dexcom for the free trial. In the meantime I'm back to finger pricking. It's ridiculous, and terrible quality control. Why issue the **** things if they aren't ready for rollout.
I Like the nickname for the Sensors - Please remember you can report and send the sensors backJust tossed one into the bin, it was giving readings that were less than half what a pair of finger prick meters gave.
Entertaining watching the Libre reporting that I was now dead of hypoglycaemia.
Once my blood sugar was approaching zero, out pops the "sensor error" flag.
I nickname mine "Starmer's"
This is due to incompatibility with IOS 26, Abbott have not updated their software. Has anyone tried Dexcom?3 error in row is not really that common, were they all from the same batch?

Have Abbott said librelink isn’t compatible with ios26?This is due to incompatibility with IOS 26, Abbott have not updated their software. Has anyone tried Dexcom?
Was chatting with my pharmacist today. She said she doesn't hear about too many problems with Dexcoms, but hears a lot of complaints about Libre 2+.This is due to incompatibility with IOS 26, Abbott have not updated their software. Has anyone tried Dexcom?
Dexcom also has complaints NHS seen to prefer libre at least in my area ,. Same idea with news rarer to hear good things, bad things such as complaints usually heard a lot louder alongside if something is used more frequent. It would be interesting to see direct comparison of both on same person wearing both for a good few months, to see if it's across the board or just hear due to sheer number of users . Despite quirks and limitations love the libre even thou this time around it's reading approx 1 mmol under fingerpricksWas chatting with my pharmacist today.
